the taste of vegimite (vegemite? dunno) is impossible to describe. Take the approximate pleasure levels of dental work without anesthetic, cleaning the bathroom and self-immolation and make a taste out of them, and you begin to approach ...[text shortened]... And possibly feces, vomit, and partially decomposed human flesh.
And it is spelt "Vegemite' there is an 'e' between the 'g' & 'm'

Does it have a beerish taste?
The taste is salty though, the second largest ingredient (by % weight) is salt.
Have a look at http://www.vegemite.com.au ---- You can buy vegemite online in the US
I am actually going to have some now.
Ok, I'll fess up. Had rattlesnake (grilled and cut length-wise for tacos) and it gets worse....Rocky mountain oysters. I actually like these. They're great dipped in ranch dressing. If you don't know- they are not oysters. They come from a bull. Think of what on a bull is round and about the size of an oyster...now bread it and fry it! MMmmMM good!
Originally posted by trekkieIn North Carolina, I had a stew of venison, rabbit, squirrel, possum, and God only knows what else
Also eaten the following
Crocodile (more like fish than anything else)
Emu (a nice game bird)
Kangaroo (must be eaten medium to medium rare, definitely not well done)
Possum (interesting game like flavour)

I have eaten snails.
Never could eat frog's legs. I always had this image of little frogs in wheelchairs looking very sad

The list I could produce would be endless. And some of the things I've eaten are truly disgusting.
Turnip.
It's bloody awful.
Dog
It's supposed to taste like chicken. Believe me, it doesn't!
Frogs legs
I love frogs legs. Especially with a bit of garlic.
Snails
I love snails. Especially in garlic sauce (there might be a pattern here). ...[text shortened]... rong.
Cockroach
One of the few times I've actually said: "No. Sorry. I'm on a diet."
Originally posted by Remora91I think you had a bad experience when you tried buffalo - like with most burgers they will have used the crappiest fattiest bits of the animal to make them I've had buffalo steak several times and it is a very lean meat (better for you than beef), and tastes like strong flavour cow. It does go tough quite easily so cook it on a low heat and serve still red in the middle.

Snails are lovely if cooked right, although if cooked badly they taste like rubber. Why would we want to eat them? Why not if they taste good and aren't poisonous. Most of our adversions to eating certain foods are learnt and there is no logical pattern - for example, why would you want to eat unfertalised chicken ovulation? But a fried egg for breakfast is excellent!

Originally posted by Remora91I don't have to, I chose to because it tastes nice. What other criteria is there for eating food? Certainly not that it looks nice in it's precooked form, or that what you are eating is commonly thought of as 'pleasant'.
